Simply swaddle your
baby is comfortably draped in a blanket for warmth and safety.
Wrapping your baby can
reduce the number of interruptions your baby goes through due to his sudden
reaction and will help keep your newborn warm for the first few days so his
temperature can calculate the correct temperature. Baby swaddle
is also important as it can help soothe him.
When you have a new
baby, the hospital nurses will probably show you how to wrap your baby before
returning home. They stress the importance of swaddling to help your baby sleep
better during naps and especially at night. If your baby is asleep, so will you
and your family.
Another great reason to
roast your baby is that it is known to help reduce some of the risks associated
with SIDS. Baby Swaddle prevents babies from rolling on their stomachs while
sleeping and helps maintain a healthy temperature, and when wrapping your baby,
the blanket is safe and cannot cover their faces.
During the first month
of your newborn's life, when he tends to sleep most of the day and is not very
active, putting your baby in a swaddle will make him feel as comfortable and
safe as he is in his mother's womb. However, after about a month, keep wrapping
your baby, but only at bedtime, as he should be able to move freely and explore
his surroundings.
You can swaddle your baby as long as you can handle it. This varies from child to child. When your baby asks you questions that he no longer wants to be wrapped in, be sure to stop right away, as this will only interrupt the baby's sleep. Some questions might include crying, kicking, or removing the cover.
How do you carry your
baby swaddling?
Follow these simple
tips to get the perfect blanket.
• Lay a blanket on a
flat surface and fold the top right corner about 6 inches
• Place your baby on
his back, with his head bent
• Bring the corner near
your child's left hand across his body, and fold the front edge under his back
on the right side under his arm.
• Lift the bottom
corner under your baby's chin
• Place the
loose-fitting corner on your child's right arm and tuck it under his back on
his left side.
If your child prefers
to free his arms, you can roll him under the arms.
Another alternative is
to buy a blanket to wrap. These blankets make swaddling your baby easy. In two
easy steps, your baby will be warm, safe, and ready for bed.
You can keep your baby
swaddled at all times if you wish. However, once your baby is 4 to 6 weeks old,
it is advisable to swaddle him only when she puts him to sleep. This ensures
that when your baby is awake, he is stimulated enough to develop motor skills.
